@ Riverside Art Museum

April 2 – May 24, 2008

Reception: April 3, 2008, 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

The Riverside Art Museum was recently the fortunate recipient of a generous gift from Stuart and Beverly Denenberg. In recognition of the Museum’s commitment to collecting work on paper the Denenbergs donated over 60 prints and drawings, ranging from early Renaissance broadsheets to contemporary American serigraphs. Selections from this gift will go on view in the Museum’s Lobby and Mezzanine Galleries beginning Thursday, April 2, through Saturday, May 24, 2008.

Notable as art dealers in California since the 1980s, Stuart and Beverly Denenberg moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles eight years ago, and have been prominent ever since in the southern California art world, serving on the boards of the Fine Art Dealers Association, the West Hollywood Art Commission, and other organizations. Beverly Denenberg is a native Los Angelena. Her husband grew up on the East Coast and began his career as a print publisher and dealer in Boston in the 1960s. Several of the works in the Denenberg gift were acquired back then from artists with whom Stuart Denenberg had worked and socialized.
